Hi Codrina, Peter, Jorge,
I see some of you have joined the glossary slack channel. That is great.
A bunch of new people have joined this project who won't know you. Assuming
you are still keen to be part of the OSGeo Glossary initiative, would you
mind sending an introduction message saying who you are, where you live
(coordinating timezones
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=4&month=9&year=2020&p1=22&p2=240&p3=248&p4=102&p5=44&p6=26&p7=136&p8=179&p9=224&iv=0>
is a challenge), and if you have any particular thoughts about how you'd
like to be involved.
To get you up to speed, this Glossaries Manifesto
<https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/edit>
should be helpful. (Please add your name to the Collaborators list if you
wish to take part.)

We are blessed to have three tech writers offering to help with both
writing and coordinating. However they are new to open source and newer to
OSGeo. It would be great to pair them with OSGeo veterans such as
yourselves. I see you could help with:
* Using your social capital to help access the right people in
organisations.
* Help define OSGeo terms (while they would get the terms written
correctly).
I think that most people who fit this group are in IN/US/EU timezones.
